Sunday. 28th Dec.. Rained hard all day. I did not go out.
Father visited Henry Hudson at noon. Found him very low but perfectly sensible. At his request prayers
were offered for him at church in the afternoon
Father visited him again after church and found
him in a very happy state of mind. He sent his
love to us all. The thought of his danger affected
me very much, though I could scarcely tell why I
wept. We had a little meeting at home in the ev'ng
and special prayers were offered for him. Mr Murphy
Harriet, Carrie and I sang and talked together till
about ten when we retired.

Monday.. The snow has all disappeared, carried completely
away by the heavy rain of yesterday, and it is
much warmer than it was last week; but the
walking is anything but pleasant. Went out in the
afternoon of an errand. Met Emma Briggs and after-
wards H. Wilde both of whom gave me a compliment
very different from each other. Mary Reeve and Miss [?]
called in my absence but going out again I met
them and had quite a pleasant walk with them
[Mr? word is crossed out] George Hendson? passed us as we turned a corner
He looked very sober and I could not help feeling
sorry that I happened to be laughing just then. Called
on Mrs Tucker, and on Sarah Olmsted. Attended prayer
meeting at Mrs Stearns in the evening.

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
